Chapter 14
Using a yellow-skinned puppet to confuse people is a common method used by his lame horse, and he let the puppet turn into my grandfather's appearance, naturally in order to harm my life.
He didn't plan it just now, and now he's blocking my way, and his purpose is obvious, to kill me.
He knows a lot of evil arts, even my grandfather is not willing to mess with this kind of person, now, I am a little white, definitely not his opponent, fighting with him, is equivalent to death. So, when I saw him, I didn't hesitate to run and go all the way east.
However, when I was tired and couldn't straighten my waist, I realized that I couldn't get out of the village at all.
No matter which way I go, I can't get out.
The night fog is raging, and the wind is windy.
Even if I can't get out, I can only run as hard as I can. Fortunately, he was a lame man, and he was not able to catch up with me immediately.
Near the entrance of Laojieling Village, there is a large poplar forest, and I have to cross this forest from the main road, but I can't go out. But when I got out of the woods, I found that there was a road over there. Although it is a dirt road with weeds on both sides, the road is quite wide.
Ever since I grew up in Laojieling Village, I didn't know that there was such a road on this side of the poplar forest. I was curious, maybe this road could go out, and the dead horse should be used as a live horse doctor, and it should be a try.
There was no fog on this dirt road, and there was no wind entanglement, it was very calm, and although it was dark in sight, it was black and clear.
On the road, you can see a few round square hole white paper coins sporadically, which are the kind scattered on the way out of the funeral of the dead.
Knock knock knock......
As I was walking along the road, all of a sudden, the sound of a rattle appeared, almost breaking my heartstrings. I already had a shadow of this sound, and I wanted to run when I turned around, but when I turned around, I found that there was no road behind me at all, and I couldn't see anything.
And the poplar forest that I just walked out of is gone.
Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock......
The sound grew closer, and a dark shadow appeared on the road ahead. He had a burden on his shoulders, and even if I couldn't see him clearly, I was sure that he was the merchant who had come to my house twice to borrow water.
Just dodged the lame horse, and ran into him?
How can I carry it like that?
In an instant, the shadow was in front of me. His face, in a shadow, I couldn't see his expression, but I could feel the grim smile on his face, which made me feel like falling into an ice cave for a moment.
"Young man, we meet again, it's really fate!"
He said coldly, and the surrounding temperature immediately cooled a little, and after asking, he put down the pick on his shoulder again.
His picks were very heavy, and his body was a little rickety just now, so he put down his picks, straightened up, and walked towards me. "Young man, how did you end up on this path?"
Before I could answer, he was a little surprised and asked, "Did your grandfather figure it out?" ”
I don't know how to answer, he has ill intentions towards my grandfather, and I am afraid that if he says the wrong thing, he will hurt my grandfather. Seeing that I didn't speak, he glanced back at his pick, and said, "You don't have to be afraid, I just came back from Bai Qingguan, and my business has been done today, I just asked, don't go to your house to borrow water." ”
I also glanced at his picker and asked, "Who the hell are you?" ”
The merchant smiled coldly, but he no longer paid attention to me, turned around and picked up his pick, the flat burden was a little bent, he shouted: "Change the scissors, change the handle, change the kitchen knife, good scissors, needlework rope pancreas, foreign fire candy cigarette holder, what to change, what to change......"
He shouted and walked, and it didn't take long for him to disappear into the darkness.
And where he put down the pick just now, it was the same as the last time at my door, leaving two pools of dirty blood.
What is in the merchant's pick?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a rattling sound from somewhere, it was the sound of the cold wind blowing the poplar leaves, like a ghost clapping his hands. At the same time, the dirt road I had just walked on was also lost in a trance, and I was still standing in the poplar forest. In the distance, I saw the lame horse looking for it among the poplars.
Seeing this, I turned around and left, but unfortunately, I happened to step on a dry branch, making a "click" sound.
The sound caught the attention of the lame horse, who looked to me.
In an instant, four or five dark shadows gathered around him, which were naturally his puppets, and the lame man pointed at me, and all of them floated quickly towards me.
My heart was in my throat, and I ran away.
But the shadows were so fast, almost instantaneous, that they were about to catch up with me.
I ran lifelessly, directionlessly, like a headless fly.
In the nick of time, I suddenly heard this voice.
"Brother Lin Yi, follow me!"
I was stunned, stopped, and found a white face in the grass over there. This sudden scene frightened me almost to cry out, and she gestured stiffly at me to let me pass, looking very anxious.
Seeing that those puppet black shadows were about to pounce on me, I had no choice but to go over and follow her. Rushing into the grass over there, He Xiaojing said: "Brother Lin Yi, you keep running in this direction, no matter what you hear, don't look back, when you see the big willow tree, circle around the willow tree three times, pour three circles, bite the tip of your tongue, and you will be able to wake up!" ”
"Bite the tip of my tongue and I'll wake up?" I don't quite understand what He Xiaojing means, but I seem to understand something in a trance, and I can't think clearly for a while.
"Hurry up, they're coming!" He Xiaojing's voice looked a little anxious.
"What are you going to do?" I asked.
However, instead of answering, she walked out of the grass, blocking the golems' path. Looking at her thin back, I suddenly felt a sour feeling in my heart.
Looking back at the depths of the grass, it was pitch black and there was no end in sight. Watching He Xiaojing wrestling around those puppets, I was asking myself, do I really want to leave her alone? Is she the opponent of those puppets?
Just when I was hesitating, He Xiaojing said again: "Brother Lin Yi, why don't you leave?" ”
It was precisely because of her reminder that He Xiaojing was a little distracted, and one of the puppets threw her to the ground at once. However, He Xiaojing opened her mouth, revealing a mouth full of thin teeth, and bit a big hole in the puppet's neck in one gulp. The puppet snorted green smoke from its neck, and it seemed to be extremely painful, and He Xiaojing took this opportunity to get out of the puppet's control.
The puppet was thrown out and quickly deflated and turned into a white paper scarecrow.
Seeing this, I gritted my teeth, I stayed for a while, and I couldn't help, but dragged He Xiaojing back. So, without hesitation at the moment, I turned back and went deep into the grass.
Running in that direction, don't waste time, first, for my grandfather, and secondly, for He Xiaojing, who I just blocked the puppet, they can't have an accident.
I don't know how long I ran before I finally got into the open.
In the midst of the night mist, there was a large willow tree.
This willow tree is the big willow tree in front of the house of the king goddess, but the difference is that there is wasteland everywhere around it, and there are no houses at all.
He Xiaojing tried his best to save me just now, I don't believe that he told me this to harm me, and the so-called nonsense is not entirely true. Therefore, I didn't hesitate at all, just according to what He Xiaojing said, I circled around the old willow tree, turned around three times and reversed three times, and after the turn, I bit the tip of my tongue again.
In an instant, the pain in my heart came, mixed with a salty stimulus in my mouth, which made my whole body tense, but my head was in a trance and dizzy.
I fell to the ground, fluttering, and my eyes grew dark.
After a while, I felt my mouth dry and uncomfortable, and after a cough, I sat up. What I saw in front of me surprised me to lie on a wooden bed.
Where is this?
The candlelight at the head of the bed flickered slightly, and the warmth had already reached my heart, making me calm down a little.
Sitting next to the bed was the goddess Wang wearing a blue and white cheongsam.
She had a wet towel in her hand, and when she saw me sitting up, she asked, "Son, how is it, has the girl agreed to your marriage?" ”
I touched the back of my head and gradually sobered up.
Sighing, I said, "It's all because I didn't behave well, she didn't agree." ”
Lady Wang frowned slightly, as if she didn't know what I had just experienced, and she asked again, "Didn't you hand over that pair of vermilion hairpins to her?" ”
Speaking of Zhu Hai, I took the thing out of my pocket, opened the box, and startled the goddess Wang, who stood up and seemed to not believe what she was seeing. After a while, she picked up the broken Zhu Hai again and said, "This is not my engagement gift to you, this pair is fake, you see the truth!" ”
I took a closer look and realized that where was the Zhu Hai in the box, it was clearly two branches, and one end of the branch was just a ball of noodles.
"How so?" I asked.
Goddess Wang shook her head, except for my grandfather's affairs that could make her angry, Goddess Wang's handling of things was quite calm, but this matter made her frowning, obviously, this is too important to Zhu Chai.
"Child, tell me, I cast a spell to let you go to the yin to get engaged to Miss Ye, what have you experienced?" Lady Wang asked very seriously.
I told her the ins and outs of the matter in 1510, and she looked at me and said, "No, I told you before you left, your daughter-in-law is in the old grave, why do you need me to show you the way?" ”
As soon as Mrs. Wang said this, I thought about it, and it was true.
However, in the state of going yin, I just can't figure it out, and I can't realize it. I didn't even know what He Xiaojing meant when he said that you can wake up by biting the tip of your tongue, in fact, these contents were taught to me by Mrs. Wang before I left.
Since Mrs. Wang didn't take me to the old tomb slope at all, there must have been someone else who took me along the way. Thinking of the puppet of the lame horse pretending to be my grandfather and harming me, I can basically guess that nine times out of ten, the lame horse transferred the pair of vermilion hairpins in my hand.
Zhu Hai is likely to be in the hands of a lame horse.
From this point of view, in addition to harming my grandfather, Ma Cripple obstructed my marriage, and there was another purpose, that is, to make his Ma family the son-in-law of the Ye family, otherwise what was the use of him robbing the dowry? When I thought of this, Mrs. Wang said something that surprised me very much, she said: "Child, now that I understand, how sought-after is your daughter-in-law?" ”
It's all like this, and Mrs. Wang still has the heart to make such a joke? I didn't want to talk about this anymore, so I asked about my grandfather's situation and He Xiaojing, who blocked the puppet for me just now.
But Mrs. Wang said that she asked He Xiaojing to go, so I could rest assured that He Xiaojing would be fine.
When it comes to my grandfather, I am very anxious and restless, because tonight is the limit of my grandfather's twenty-nine, and my ghost daughter-in-law has not been married, so wouldn't my grandfather want to ......
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps in the next room.
